Really enjoy your writeups, always informative, so thank you!
All of us L'ville backers pulled out a squeaker today. I like Ohio St. as well and I'm gonna ride you on the Mercer pick. I doubted Fairfield last round and got burned so hoping they emptied the tank against Robert Morris. Good luck to all!!!

Amended, given the athleticism of Baylor coupled with the guard play of Xavier and I feel compelled to play the over at 142. Any thoughts?

I think Kansas is the strongest play tonight. Leaning toward Ohio. Can't seem to get a bead on Xavier/Baylor matchup.

And now that Marshall is indeed doubtful, as dumb as this sounds, the task probably gets a bit easier. I could have over-thought it, who knows. Even when Ohio attacks and gets into the lane which they love to do, they're going up against size. GL The key will be if Ohio's penetration can create foul trouble for Zeller and Henson. If that happens then Ohio may have a chance. Otherwise, it does look like UNC should prevail. I'm still concerned about Henson's wrist. Does anyone have an update on him?

I like Ohio in this spot. UNC has had three days to prepare without their floor leader. They've got a totally unproven point guard running the team now. Granted, they have a huge size advantage up front (with Zeller and Henson), but even Henson is a bit of an x-factor with his wrist injury. I think Ohio will keep this game close.

Not quite true, NC St. has faced Virginia twice and Florida St. once, both pretty good defensive teams. They also played Princeton early in the season, granted Princeton doesn't play the kind of pressure D that Kansas employs. NC St. went 2-2 against those teams, with one being a 2 point squeaker at home against Princeton. I would lean toward a double digit win for Kansas tonight. They haven't yet played a complete game in the tournament. I know Shaka Smart thinks NC St's Leslie is one of the best players in the country, but I don't think they'll be able to handle the Kansas pressure.

I think Stanford wins by double digits tonight. They played a sub-par game against Illinois St that other night, and Ill. St. shot the hell out of the ball all game, yet Stanford still pulled out a W. Really like the home team in this spot, Stanford can man up with Nevada's big man and they're more athletic than Nevada. Big win for Stanford tonight!

Any thoughts on the over/under for Rice vs. Oakland? I'm leaning toward the under, thinking Rice will control the tempo, also knowing that Oakland's starters score all of their points. Foul trouble could kill Oakland.

Thanks for the Bowling Green/Oakland insight, much appreciated. I do, however, disagree on the Zona play. Arizona has 3 seniors (Fogg, Perry, Lavender) who still have something to play for. While Bucknell has a good defense, Zona also had one of the top D's in the Pac-12. Arizona can't match the size of Bucknell's big man Muscala, but they did a good job neutralizing UCLA's size in their last two matchups with them. I see Zona winning this game by 10 points.
